Hello everyone, hope you had a great Christmas.
Anyhow I am now in the market for a new mic. More like a back up/ addition to my 416.
My 416 is getting old and it looks like it's time to put her in the shop. Seeing that it is my only shotgun, we've been through many battles to say the least. So she has quite a bit of wear and tare.
I've seen quite of few post mention the ntg3 but not really go in to depth about the mic. At the moment the price sounds right, but how does the mic sound? Not really looking for a comparison to the 416 but just an overall ratting on the mic.
My 416 would remain my primary(until I can get my cmit) but it would be nice to have an alternative at times. Or just even a good sounding beat up mic to throw in the mix when that special situation presents itself.
My first thought is to go rent one and see how it stacks up for myself. Which is something that I just may do. But with my my 416 not being as reliable as I would like, I'd much rather rent something I know will do the job well without having to hope things will turn out ok every scene.
So whatever input you guys may have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx
